"I have my clear turquoise lamp that is almost a decade old. It sits a little cloudy, but when it's on it goes crystal clear. It has always been like this. All my other colour liquids seem OK."
"It's the first time its happened to me to be fair, I've never known a new lamp to be cloudy. All of my others are crystal clear."
"I had special fills I haven't had no problem at all myself"
"Shame yours have done the same, maybe this is the new sticky wax. I've never known a bottle to go cloudy.
Glad yours cleared up, I'll give mine a bit longer I guess. "
"My recent special fills also clouded up, but they have cleared up in the past every time for me."

I just wanted to see if anyone else has noticed this? Or, if it’s just me.Any newer clear liquid bottles seem to go cloudy only after a few runs for me with normal use. The clear/orange on the latest special fill for example, I've noticed it on clear black too. I'm sure they were crystal clear on arrival otherwise I would have noticed. I have older clear bottles liquid bottles and they are still very clear. Anyone else?See More
" I know the ones you mean but they changed the legs position before better securing the bulb holder with the little lips. I have a couple with wonky legs that don’t have the internal lips to hold the bulb holder.

Hi
The legs not being equidistant is a change they made a year of two ago and I 100% agree, they look pretty bad now. I'm assuming it’s to help it fit in the box better (the ones with equally distant legs bulged the box a bit)…"
"I have a pink and orange, both first 100 (for whatever that’s worth :-)), feel free to chuck me an offer.
As a side note, I wish Mathmos would give some sort of warning before things get discontinued. I noticed the pink was OOS a while…"
"Jets came with a 30w spot if I remember correctly. Prob best to just add a dimmer with your 40w.
Great lamps tho, they were £20 brand new at the time which is weird to think about now. Just a side thought.
All of your bottles…"
"Maybe they were having trouble with the bottle coatings but they could have at least given a unique colour for the last one. Easy pass for me either way.
My Rankin arrived today also but its seems to have been manufactured by a blind person. I…"
"Passing on the last one, looks pretty boring and just a regular bottle. "
love it!
"Looks great! What time did you order, what nuber did you get? Mine hasnt even dispatched yet even tho I ordered at 12 :("
" I'm surprised this one sold out that fast.
No harm in passing one ones that don’t do it for you. I'm the same, I only buy the ones I like, no point of just getting them for the sake of it. "

Hello Paul,
Thanks for the friend invite.
Yes, I'm now making a range of six different rocket lamps, as you see in the pictures. Prices vary depending on which model and whether you require a bottle or already have them.
if you want more info, let me know,
Cliff
